Bimmer = cars
Beemer = motorcycles
Beamer = some kind of star trek thing....
Why Bimmer......... as a newby to the bmw forum , it struck me that different acronyms or slang were used to to describe bmw throughout the world.
The term 'bimmer' was new to me , in the UK you would generally say 'beemer' or 'bm'.
Although I recently picked my son up from school and his friends told me it mean't 'black mans wheels' or 'big mans wheels' .
Any other offers??

Even after all these years, his friends have never used any other nomenclature to describe these cars. They love to be taken home in the M5, and woo, and say how one day they will own a BMW and love riding in the 318iS.
Not everybody gets it.....and that, is good for us. How else will we find low mileage, unbeat, cared for, BMW's???
These would be dubs = 20" or larger rims, they're ghetto fab.Originally Posted by Ian w
